Hi,
I don't know which video card i must choose. I would like to know if the following video cards : 1) "*Point of View GeForce FX 5900 XT 128 Mo DDR/DVI is compatible" with Debian-amd64 ?. 2) " **ASUSTEK V9570/TD 256 Mo TV/DVI (NVIDIA GeForce FX5700) is compatible with Debian amd-64 ?.
Thanks to nVidias UDA the brand does not matter only the chipset. Both chipsets are reported to work with Debian AMD64. See the thread "AMD64 and video card experiences" I started a few weeks ago for confirmation or check the nvnews.net Linux-forum. I have just ordered the Asus (in the 128 MB edition) and will get it this weekend. I you want to I can mail you if I get it to work with Debian AMD64.
Please reply to us all! I am also on the position of being screwed over by matrox, and will soon be looking for something to replce my matrox 650 :-\ If the Asus works OK, then it could well be on it's way to my house in about a week ;-)
Pity... the 650 is supposed to be a nice card, I bought based on my experince of
the dual DVI 550, it worked fine, even without the HAL library. :-(
*sigh*
Cheers, Paul
